Welcome to Gaia! ::

(Ah....Ok I got this)

Cassandra watched as the school came into view. She wasn't sure how she had been accepted but that didn't really matter to her. She was just glad that she was. She was only worried about her best friends. They seemed happy for her as she was driven away in the taxi. She sighed as the driver stopped infront of the school. She paid him and got out. He got out and started to unload her things from the back. She thanked him and picked up her things. It wasn't all that much but it was all she would need. She had a small rolling bag of clothes and her guitar. Her flute was in the bag on her back that had everything like her i-pod and her psp and other things. She sighed and walked up to the school without looking back at the taxi as it drove off.

((would have finished much sooner but....well I got carried away with talking on the phone...and AIM))

(This is my first Gaia account....))

((Dude thats creepy... lol. who would have thought that.))

Xander Kelly got out of the back seat of his father's car. It was a black sedan, how classically boring. His father's driver, Frankie, took his luggage out of the back. He hadn't packed much, since he'd have to carry both a violin and a guitar. Besides, all his clothes looked the same to him, since most of them were t-shirts and jeans.

"Thanks, Frank. I've got it from here." Frankie smiled and nodded, the way he did every year. This was Xander's third and final year at Ravenwood. He knew he'd miss this place come next year, but at least he was already pretty sure Juliard would take him. They hadn't said so officially, but he'd only been a Junior last year.

He read through the letter again, including the attached schedule. He wanted to be a composer, so he was taking most of his classes centered around that. He had left himself a study hall, though, so he wouldn't get bogged down with work the way he had when he first arrived.

He passed a new girl on his way in, and smiled real big at her, like he was an axe murderer. He didn't say anything, just smiled, and walked past her.

Once he was inside the building, he began looking for Dorm Five. He was sharing with some kid called Christian. Maybe Christian would be cute. Xander sure hoped so. He'd had to share with Joshua last year, and he'd hated it. That guy was a total stick in the mud; no fun at all.

He was the first one to his dorm, sweet. He claimed the bed he wanted, and put up a few posters, to mark his spot. Then, he got changed into his school uniform. It was annoying that the very first thing they did when they got here was to have an assembly. To relieve the boredom he already felt at the coming asembly, Xander put his tie on the wrong way, so that the skinny bit was on top. He wondered how long it would take for someone to tell him, as he walked towards the theater.

Cassandra raised her eyebrow at the guy that past her with this huge smile. She rolled her eyes and walked straight to dorm 3. She found that she was the first here and she was already excited. She claimed her bed, the one by the window. She stuffed her guitar under the bed and changed into the school uniform. She sighed at the idea of having to wear this all year. She left her hair down. No need to bother with it. She kept her other bag with her. She would probably not be away from it for a while. She looked back at the room with one final sweep and then walked toward the auditorium.

Just as Xander was getting to the auditorium, he saw the blond girl he'd smiled at before. "Hiya, sweetie," he said, "Who're you then? My name's Xander, but if you're nice to me, you can call me Lex."

Cassandra had been thinking of Paul and Jerry again when suddenly she was being asked a question. She looked up at the owner of the voice, only to find it was the guy from earlier. Wonderful. "Hey. Please don't call me sweetie if you want to be able to keep talking." She never did like girly things too much considering she hung out with Paul and Jerry all the time. "The names Cassandra. Or Cassie. But please not Cassondra...It annoys the crap out of me. So...Xander...Umm She paused, not sure what to ask. She had a few questions but wasn't sure which were completely approprate.

"Fair enough, Cassie. Nice to see some fresh meat here. I thought I might die from boredom. But you, you look...interesting. In fact, you're my new best friend. Tonight, you can come to my room and we'll watch some old seventies kung fu movies on my laptop. I'm in number five. If you get there by six, I can smuggle in some pizza. Come on, Cass, we're gonna be late." He hurried to sit in the seat nearest the door.
